Quarry Bank, Alexander Suite

I absolutely adore Quarry Bank Mill, we often go for a walk here as we are NT members and it's not far from home. It's a really pleasant place to visit, especially in term time when it is quieter. The gardens are gorgeous, wonderful walks all round the area, mostly dog friendly but not in the mill as expected. Volunteers and staff are all wonderful. We walked down to the little church as we had never been and saw all the old houses, so adorable and charming. The school is in use and I love the look of it as it has that real village feel ♡ Just marvellous 😀

A Wonderful Accessible Walk for All Abilities - We had a lovely morning walk at Quarry Bank with my special needs daughter, who has limited mobility. The experience was fantastic—peaceful, well-organized, and very accessible. Parking was free and convenient, and we appreciated that entry to the outdoor walking paths was also free (only the gardens and certain facilities require a ticket was explained to us by the staff). The trails were well-signposted and easy to navigate with the provided map, making it stress-free for us to explore. The paths were well-maintained, smooth, and manageable for my daughter’s mobility needs. It’s rare to find such a beautiful, natural space that caters so thoughtfully to visitors of all abilities. I highly recommend to families with children and anyone with limited mobility. It’s a welcoming, serene place to enjoy nature without any hassle. We’ll definitely be back!

A fantastic place to visit. We took the grandchildren but found that the pram could not be accommodated - our fault entirely but the pram stores were full so could not tour the mill together. Wish we had taken the baby carrier for the 4 month old! An extensive place that would easily fill an entire day!!
